Kinosaki Marine World, located in Toyooka City, Hyogo Prefecture, is a unique aquarium that specializes in hands-on activities, located on the beautiful coastline of the Sea of ​​Japan. In addition to simply watching marine life, there are plenty of activities available where you can actually touch, feed, and swim with them, so children and adults alike can enjoy using all five senses. In particular, the impressive live shows featuring dolphins, sea lions, penguins, and more are a must-see, and you will be amazed at the intelligence and physical abilities of the marine animals.

The aquarium is made up of zones with different themes, such as "Dive" and "Dolphin," which recreate the nature of the Sea of ​​Japan.
